[DS-minetest]

take one heart and give it back after a very short time

What if it was his last heart?

then the player gets a Vombie C:

[swordpaint12]

A simple mod that enables you to cook mushrooms, apples, flowers, and wheat seeds. Put them in the furnace and voila, a meal.
Mushrooms--> Mushroom soup
Apples--> Applesauce
Flowers--> Salad
Wheat seeds--> Oatmeal
Also this mod would add wooden bowls. Craft with sticks instead of iron ingot in the bucket pattern. To eat the food you would have to put the food above the wooden bowl in the craft boxes. When eaten, you would receive an empty wooden bowl. Also all food, bowl-less or otherwise, would be able to be placed.

Ok so on forge there is a gun mod but with a bonus if you press R with a weapon with a scope it actually aims through it. I was wondering if there is anyway to do this with minetest as I really can't stand forge it is so darn finicky and minetest just seems to work better.

So hopefully we can get scopes.

[rubenwardy]

You can't make scopes zoom in multiplayer. You can display a scope like circle though.

Engine limitation.

[Soudon]

Zoom isn't an issue I just like the idea of aiming with s scope.

[TumeniNodes]

Zoom isn't an issue I just like the idea of aiming with s scope.

Maybe you could try to change the crosshair? (which is probably what rubenwardy is referring to)

[D00Med]

It'd be cool if there was a mod for dispensers similar to those in a certain game.
I was thinking, maybe stick or swords could be fired like arrows, and everything else could be just dropped out the front.

[GreenDimond]

2 ideas:
1) A working enchantment table (use any tool, adds some effect with the cost of mese or diamonds or something, idk)

2) A potions mod WITH brewing. There are currently 2 of these mods, but one isn't that great and the other doesn't seem to have brewing/crafting recipes.

Yes, I know that Minetest is not Minecraft and should not have everything that Minecraft has, but I still think these would be great to have.

I am not that great of a modder so... yeah... that's why this is here.

[D00Med]

No brewing recipes? I don't know what you are talking about... :D
There is already an enchantment table, as a separate mod and as part of xdecor.
edit: I just saw the potions modpack, there's actually three potions mods.

[GreenDimond]

I am mainly talking about the potions modpack. The reason I said Tsumiman's wasn't that great was because the textures were eh and the effects were screwy (didn't work right) and the effect length bar wasn't working right. The one by minermoder27 has a broken download link so I did not count it. I like the potions modpack but it has no recipes. I think. Let me know if there are.
Edit: Oh wow! The enchantment table is great! (could be better, but still!) :D ty for that!

[D00Med]

Ok, you can always look in the code for recipes.
Ok, I made another potion mod(witchcraft), but there's no recipes and the effects are pretty uncreative. If I was to make another potion mod, or edit the one I already made, what sort of effects would you want potions to have?

[GreenDimond]

I have tried the witchcraft mod. It is pretty good. Here are some things to improve:

-Make it legit brewing/alchemy - No cauldrons or anything, have a brewing stand with 3 places to put bottles, one place for an ingredient, and maybe a fuel slot.
-Instead of requiring other mods, include what players need in the mod itself.
-The scrolls aren't that great
-Use bottles with water as base, then add from there.
-Make them all drinkable, but when brewed with something (maybe glass fragments, put em' to good use? or flint?) they turn into splash potions.
-Give each potion a name. Surprises aren't always fun.
-Have different levels for each potion (1-3 levels i guess) Ex: Potion of Swiftness Lvl. 2
-Have a brewing book (to have all recipes).
-Have different items that add different things.
-Different items changedifferent aspects of each potion (Mese crystal increases duration, maybe an obsidian shard increases level (potency), and the item that makes them splash of course).
-Can combine different potions.

-- These are my suggested effects (some are already in the witchcraft mod) potency depends on level --
-Potion of Slowness - Makes the player slower
-Potion of Swiftness - Makes the player faster
-Potion of Harm - Takes away a certain amount of hearts
-Potion of Healing - Adds a certain amount of hearts
-Potion of Strength - Makes the player stronger Ex: Tool/Fist has +1 damage
-Potion of Night Vision - Allows the player to see clearer at night or in the dark
-Potion of Blindness - Player has a limited area of sight
-Potion of Breathing - Allows the player to breath underwater
-Potion of Fire Resistance - Allows the player to swim in lava and play with fire
-Potion of Agility - Makes the player jump higher (without harming the player when they come down)
-Potion of Hunger (only if better_hud mod is present and enabled) - Makes the player hungry
-Potion of Filling (only if better_hud mod is present and enabled) - Makes the player less hungry
-Potion of Light - Makes the player become a light source
-Potion of Invisibility - Make the player invisible
-Potion of Nausea - Makes the players screen wiggly and shaky and such (you know what I mean)

So, yeah. Lots of stuff. This would be great :D

[D00Med]

Hmm no cauldrons? I probably won't be changing that, but brewing stands sound interesting.
Fair enough about the dependencies. Hmm they are all drinkable, apart from the splash potions, which are crafted by adding a handle(stick). A brewing book is a great idea, same with levels.
I'll add some of those things, thanks for the suggestions. And btw I agree, the scrolls aren't very good. Apart from the lightning scroll, which is a lot of fun.
I don't think I could do strength, night vision, nausea, light, or fire resistance.
The agility potion, without the harm falling down might be a bit tricky.
Otherwise I think I could add those.
Haha I've got a lot of mod-ing to do!

[GreenDimond]

Can't wait to see it :) Also, the agility I think you already have (may be known as anti-grav).

[D00Med]

Yes but if the timer runs out landings can be painful

[GreenDimond]

True True. But I am sure you can figure it out :)

[Teen_Miner]

This is a mod request.By the way,I'm pretty new here... ;) Anyway,if it's not too much to ask,do you think you could make a PAW Patrol mod for Minetest?It would be a dream come true!Also,there are loads of PAW Patrol fans out there who probably play Minetest.Here are some features i'm thinking of:The team's vehicles,if possible,the team's gear as wearable items,either the PAW Patrol lookout tower spawning naturally or an item in the mod to spawn said lookout and especially spawn eggs to spawn the team itself.That would be awesome!Please reply.

[Teen_Miner]

I forgot to mention:for the vehicle,make sure to include Ryder's ATV,the pups' trucks,helicopter and hovercraft/pup houses,the PAW Patroller and the Air Patroller.If you want,you can even add one or two of those other vehicles that are driven around Adventure Bay.Mr. Porter's van is optional-adding this is up to you.Maybe even Captain Turbot's boat(The Flounder)I know,it's a weird name). If you don't know what any of this stuff is,look it up.Also,this just hit me,try adding the whole town of Adventure Bay naturally spawn with the PAW Patrol lookout tower near coastal areas.

[DS-minetest]

ehm, when i searched for pictures of paw patrol, i found toys for small kids, you really want such a mod?
do you want the things in miniature, like in rl or in big?

[Byakuren]

I have tried the witchcraft mod. It is pretty good. Here are some things to improve:
-Instead of requiring other mods, include what players need in the mod itself.

witchcraft depends on mods that introduce new nodes/items. If they were included in the mod, it would cause node or item registration duplication, and you would need to change all the names because items must be registered in its mod's namespace. I think for the mods witchcraft depends on at least, you could avoid duplication by checking for both the mod being installed and the presence of its global table, but it would be a bunch of boilerplate at the beginning of each file. If you went this route you would also have to change all references to modpath and fix dofile invocations. Additionally, some mods might depend on the fact that every mods depending on it sees the same global table (e.g. playereffects), but if you could solve making sure a mod isn't loaded twice, this one would also be solved.

Including all depended mods is not a working or scalable way to paper over the low use of mod management tools.

[D00Med]

^The simpler solution to the problem is to just make components that are dependant on mods optional.

[Byakuren]

If the core functionality of your mod requires other mods, that would be the same as a hard require, except that instead of an error message, users of your mod will be confused about the mod not starting when they forgot to install dependencies. witchcraft does have some optional dependencies too, already.

The best solution is to (at least for core features) have hard dependencies.

[D00Med]

To be honest, I don't really understand what you mean by hard dependencies.

[Byakuren]

To be honest, I don't really understand what you mean by hard dependencies.

I just mean normal dependencies without a question mark, sorry.

[D00Med]

oh ok I get it. I have already made some changes anyway, moreplants is no longer required.
I'm currently working on a brewing stand for level 2 potions, hopefully it will work similar to a furnace.

[pithy]

Is there a mod that makes all crafts shapeless and allows multiple crafts with the same recipe?

[bark]

[Mod suggestion] Challenge player to fight [challenge]
I do not know lua well enough to code this myself, so I figured I'd post the idea here. Maybe someone will pick it up.

This mod allows players to challenge each other to a fight, by issuing command /challenge <player>
or /challenge_team <player-team-1> <player-team-1> <player-team2> <player_team2>

When a challenge is issued, the challenged player(s) are prompted to accept or reject the challenge.
When a challenge is accepted the following happens:

• Both fighters inventories are saved and emptied. Instead the inventory is filled with appropriate equipment (armor, weapons etc. - this can be set in config.lua)
• Both players are teleported to an appropriate venue (for instance a fighting arena. the location can be set in a config.lua)
• Both players are informed that the challenge has been accepted and to get ready for fight
• The server announces that a fight has been initiated and between whom, and offer other players to teleport to the arena by typing /spectate to watch the match
• Upon death, both players fighting equipment are removed and the original inventory is restored. Both players are teleported to the arena spectator area.
• The winner receives the prize that is agreed upon beforehand. If teams, the winning prize is divided evenly among team.

Additional suggestions:
Winning prize:

• alt1: It costs a fixed amount of money to challenge someone (depends on economy-mod). If insufficient funds the server will return something like "You don't have enough money to issue a challenge"
• alt2: When a challenge is accepted, a formspec is shown where both players can make a bet (by placing blocks in the formspec), in which the winner will take it all when match is done. When both players accept the bets, the fight is initiated.

[KCoombes]

Is there a mod that makes all crafts shapeless and allows multiple crafts with the same recipe?

Nope - you can recode every mod to allow for all shapeless crafting, but then you'd have even more recipe conflicts. A recipe can have only one output...

[glichgamer12]

There should be a mod where there is sertain stuff to put in a chest to activate a mesecon signal, would be awesome for adventure maps.

[DS-minetest]
